Tuturuga style Chicken Satay

Oowh,... Friday Night, last day of July...
I feel tired now, but I'm ready to enjoy my weekend with my family. Not to much story I'll write for now. (again) Today is the last day to submit the entry for 'Masak Bareng Yuk!' Event. It happens every month that I send my entry at the last minutes. Ck..ck..ck...
The theme of this month is Aneka Sate Nusantara (~Indonesian Traditional Satay). For us, Sate Padang and Sate Madura are the most favorite sate in our home. I'm quite good to prepare both type of satay :). So, I decided to try new 'style' of Indonesian Satay this time.

Two weeks ago, I found a different satay recipe in one national newspaper, called Sate Ayam bumbu Tuturuga (Fragnant Curried Chicken from Manado), and I decided to try this recipe. If you join this event 2 months ago, the theme was 'North Sulawesi Dish using Chicken as the main ingredient', you must be familiar with Ayam Tuturuga. This time, I prepared the satay with that style of chicken dish. The result... yummy...yummy... We enjoy the satay with steam rice.

Fermented Glutinous Rice Pudding

It's almost one month, I haven't updated this blog.We're still on the stage of 'adaptation' to our routine. Yeeah, we're back to our home town, to our own house (sounds easier), but for the last 2 weeks we have been busier than before. Our stuffs from Mumbai had arrived (there were more than 90 boxes!!), our children have started their new school (now we have 2 elementary students here, 4th and 1st grader, and they still struggle to learn our Indonesian Language).Oooh, I don't know what to write, ... I think I need to go for vacation :D

Okey, back to the food story.Fermented Glutinous Rice is one kind of food that I really missed before. Just a couple of days after we arrived in Jakarta, I bought some packs of it in a supermarket near by our home. Ooooh they're so delicious. I ate it directly from their pack.

The second time I bought, than I have some spares to prepare this pudding. Here, in Indonesia, when we talk about pudding, it's refer to 'agar-agar'.

This is an easy and simple dessert, only water, sugar, coconut milk and glutionus rice. Bring them boiled, and pour it into a mold. Let them get cold in the fridge and ... you'll get a fresh dessert. Very simple, isn't it ?I added some chopped jack fruit to the pudding and the sauce to give them special flavour. This is a perfect dessert during the hot weather.The picture below is my entry for Click Monthly Event. The theme for this month is Bi-Colour. I hope my picture meets the criteria.
